Wiki Blocks

Add wiki blocks to WordPress.

Updated April 4, 2026 (version 1.1.7) | How to install or update safely

Wiki Blocks allows you to add wiki-style blocks to your WordPress posts and pages using the Gutenberg editor. Users can suggest changes to the content, and administrators can review and merge different versions. The plugin provides a complete version control system with user permissions, change tracking, and a modern interface.

Here’s how it works

After installing and activating, go to the Wiki Blocks settings to set your global permissions. Create a new post or page, type /wiki and select the wiki block. Type in some content, set permissions different from the global settings if you want, and publish. Now from the front end users can click a button to suggest changes. Those with the right permission can select a new version to merge as the public/current block.

There’s a basic demo here.

The plugin doesn’t add a bunch of unnecessary code that slows down your website. Instead it uses WordPress’s default styling (for the most part) and built in functionality. On top of that it’s secure, cleanly coded, and follows accessibility standards.

Imagine. Posts or pages on your website with areas that your readers can help edit. Cool.
